Sustainability in the Curriculum

Links for support with incorporating sustainability into your courses.

AASHE is an association of colleges and universities in the US and Canada working to create a sustainable future. This website offers an enormous amount of information about opportunities and activities in the realm of sustainability in education.

Sponsored by the US Partnership on Education for Sustainable Development, the Disciplinary Associations Network for Sustainability is an informal network of professional associations working on:

professional development for association members; educating the public about sustainability; curricula, standards and tenure requirements to reflect sustainability; legislative briefings on what higher education can bring to sustainability related policies; and cross-disciplinary projects on education for sustainability.

This was a webinar event on Nov. 27, 2007 by the Higher Education Associations Sustainability Consortium (HEASC) and the Disciplinary Associations Network for Sustainability. Slides and resources lists are provided by the presenters.

The goal of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014, DESD), for which UNESCO is the lead agency, is to integrate the principles, values, and practices of sustainable development into all aspects of education and learning.
